About me

I enjoy working with growing families to foster an environment of positivity, joy, warmth, and nurturing. With extensive experience in creating customized routines and supporting busy households, I begin guiding families through the transition into their new lives together before baby arrives, supporting them in every aspect through the first year and beyond. I gently empower parents to trust their instincts and parent authentically. I bring a warm, calming, and healing presence to each family I work with. My focus on newborn health, safety, bonding and attachment ensures that babies receive the highest standard of care, allowing parents to feel rested and show up as their best selves.
